The funny thing about the EU is that while they do all this theatre of parliamentary elections, the bulk of such decisions are always taken by an unelected organ, the EU commission. It is not that I think they have mischievous intentions, on the contrary, but any unchecked managerial bureaucracy always go to the path of endless regulation and control.

The EU commission is not unchecked. Unelected governments (and instead appointed by the parlament) are the norm in most European states. Why on HN people feel entitled to make such comments? Is it a Krueger effect on politics?

Oh Sorry man! you're right!

An analog form of this is found in several European countries, so, of course its not unchecked! How could I miss that?

Oh no, I know. Dunning-Krueger!

My bad! Thanks for enlightening me with our perfectly logical argument!

So the federal government of Germany is also unchecked? Please tell me more in your sarcastic mood!
